SPERMATIC CORD HEMATOMA MIMICKING SPERMATIC CORD TORSION IN A NEONATE

[Spermatic cord torsion].

Spermatic cord torsion happens rather frequently in young men. It must be discovered early on, to allow for the possibility of removal by surgery. It appears from recently written medical articles that the endocrine function of the testis is protected following several hours of torsion and the risk of immunological damage to the contralateral testis is subsequently reduced.

[Spermatic cord torsion].

Torsion of the spermatic cord constitutes a surgical emergency. Morphologically and functionally, the fate of the compromised testis largely depends on the time elapsed between the acute episode and surgical intervention. Patients who had been treated for testicular torsion by our group from 1976 to 1989 were requested to return for outpatient evaluation. These patient were divided into two gro...

Spermatic Cord Knot: A Clinical Finding in Patients with Spermatic Cord Torsion

Pertinent history taking and careful examination often taper the differentials of the acute scrotum; congruently the ability to diagnose acute spermatic cord torsion (SCT) when radiological adjuncts are not available is highly imperative. This observational study serves to present a series of 46 cases of spermatic cord torsion whereby we hypothesize the identification of a clinical knot on scro...

Leiomyosarcoma of Spermatic Cord: Mimicking Inguinal Hernia

Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are very rare malignant neoplasms.We report one case, a 64-year-old man presented with the painless, swelling, ball shaped mass in the right inguinal canal.Histopathological evaluation including immunohistochemistrystudiesconfirmed a conventional leiomyosarcoma. Currently there has been no evidence local recurrence or distant metastasis for three months of ...
